The Game of Logging

The Game of Logging (GOL) is widely acknowledged as the premier
chainsaw safety and productivity training program in the country, offering hands on
chainsaw safety training in a competitive environment. Top
instructors across the country combine demonstration with participation to teach
chainsaw safety, productivity, conservation and cutting techniques.

There are currently seven training organizations that cover 30 states. Regional competitions are held annually by each training organization followed by a national competition for
professional loggers as well as landowner participants.

At this time GOL offers four levels of chainsaw safety training, as well as skidder, forwarder, clearing saw, gentle logging
and storm damage training. The training is offered to professional
loggers, foresters, college students, forest landowners, casual users, city-parks and utility workers, firemen, and anyone interested in learning any of the
chainsaw safety techniques.
